An 18-year-old college student was allegedly held hostage and gang-raped for four days in the capital’s Lalbag area.

The victim was taken to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) immediately after she was rescued from in front of Raju Memorial Sculpture near Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University (DU) on Wednesday (February 16) evening.

The 11th grader victim said that she came out of home for attending tuition class around 10:00 am on February 12. On the way, Shuvo and Alamin stopped her and picked her up at an unknown place. There she was raped by turns after forcibly feeding her sedatives. Shuvo and Alamin raped her for four days. On Wednesday afternoon, they left her near the Raju Memorial Sculpture area.

Shuvo and Alamin both are acquaintances to her from earlier.

The girl alleged Shuvo had been proposing to her for love affairs for the last several days. He started stalking her over the phone after she refused his proposal.

It was learned that the girl informed the matter to a pedestrian in the TSC area. Later, she was taken to DMCH.
